Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

All Ratings

Murmur

R.E.M.

3/5

Laughing is a fun song. Catapult is also a bop. Overall nice background music, but most werent memorable.

Tracy Chapman

4/5

Starting strong. Fast Car is a classic. Overall nice listening. Behind the Wall is good. Started to tune out halfway through.

That's The Way Of The World

Earth, Wind & Fire

2/5

You’re a shinin starrrrr no matter who ya areeeee. Not a huge fan of the album, might just not be in the right mindset.

Queen II

Queen

2/5

A lot of Queen I don’t know. It’s okay.

1984

Van Halen

4/5

That baby has a cigarette! If I heard Jump before this I would know it but have no idea it was Van Halen. Nice guitar throughout.

British Steel

Judas Priest

3/5

I always like the sound of these heavy metal bands, but if I had to tell you if a random song was Judas Priest, Black Sabbath, or Metallica I could not.

Meat Is Murder

The Smiths

2/5

It’s the Smiths. Didn’t pay too much attention but nothing stuck out.

Otis Blue/Otis Redding Sings Soul

Otis Redding

3/5

Otis has such a distinctive voice. Change Is Gonna Come is a beautiful song. A lot of covers though, not too many original songs.

Eliminator

ZZ Top

2/5

Very rock. Not memorable, sorry.

The Specials

2/5

Definitely thought this was from like the 60s until I looked at the year. “I Can’t Stand It” sounds like a song they play over and over in a dystopian cyberpunk society where the authoritarian overlords are trying to give the veneer of happiness. In Do the Dog, the guy says “donkey” the same way Shrek does.

Blur

3/5

Woohoo! That song is the most recognizable but I don’t know if I like it. They say it’s a parody on grunge. Hour long album. M.O.R. Isn’t bad. I was skeptical but it ended up being okay.

Sign 'O' The Times

Prince

4/5

I was going to give this a four for the fun bops, but If I was Your Girlfriend kinda creeped me out and it moved into three star status. the rest of the album actually moved it back into four stars. Good stuff.

In A Silent Way

Miles Davis

3/5

Doo da dooooo. Good music to play in the background while I play fortnite

Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This)

Eurythmics

3/5

It was good background music for the crossword

Low

David Bowie

3/5

I didn’t pay too much attention to it, I probably should have. May listen again today.

Nebraska

Bruce Springsteen

4/5

I didn’t expect to like Bruce Springsteen but this was a great album.

I Should Coco

Supergrass

4/5

I liked this album. Don’t have much else to say.

Second Toughest In The Infants

Underworld

2/5

This album felt like it lasted 45 years. I don’t remember ever starting it, it’s been so long. What do I rate it? How do I rate eternity? How do I rate an album that has managed to evade the bonds of time? Probably two stars.

Guitar Town

Steve Earle

2/5

Not my cup of iced tea

The Queen Is Dead

The Smiths

3/5

Smiths are always a little slow for my liking

Van Halen

4/5

Very much enjoyed this

Songs From A Room

Leonard Cohen

3/5

It was a pretty short album but I liked the first and last song. Feels like an album where if I gave it time I’d learn to like it a lot.

Led Zeppelin

2/5

It probably is a historically significant album, but it didn’t stand out to me.

Rocks

Aerosmith

3/5

Tragic Songs of Life

The Louvin Brothers

4/5

I actually quite enjoyed this

Central Reservation

Beth Orton

5/5

Great album, I really enjoyed this. My first listen was at the beginning of the day and it was nice to drift in and out of sleep with. The second listen was just as good, but awake.

Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not

Arctic Monkeys

5/5

Austin says to give this a 5

Destroy Rock & Roll

Mylo

4/5

Too Rye Ay

Dexys Midnight Runners

4/5

Come on Eileen!

Master Of Puppets

Metallica

3/5

Not bad, not bad

A Northern Soul

The Verve

2/5

Just okay. Whenever I go to the artist, the album that this website picks is never their top album or even their second top album. Interesting choices.

Rejoicing In The Hands

Devendra Banhart

4/5

This was a nice listen.

Buena Vista Social Club

3/5

Good background music

Gorillaz

4/5

Didn’t realize Damon Albarn of the Blur created this band. I really ended up enjoying the album, listened twice.

Savane

Ali Farka Touré
